Badylak says he's eager to see if small-intestinal submucosa, or SIS, has the same success in humans as it has in animals. There are several different uses for SIS, and Badylak says he thinks it will be tested first in orthopedics or as a hernia repair.

The material could help athletes rebuild torn ligaments or tendons and ...
